Hardwoods and Cypress have been used since early settlement in Australia for all types of structures. They have proven to be sustainable and readily available resources. Design principles have now developed to deliver highly adapted products. Hardwoods and Cypress offer strength, fire resistance and natural durability. Careful design and detailing can build these properties into
structures as discussed in this section of the guide.
